Symbol Series Analysis: Counting Symbols Condition

The question asks us to find the number of symbols within the given series that satisfy a specific condition: the symbol must be immediately preceded by a letter AND immediately followed by a letter.

The series provided is: $A & # W Z € % © H M O # $ U £ F * H D € © H$

We need to examine each symbol in the series from left to right and check if it meets the criteria.

Step-by-step Analysis

  1. Examine the series element by element:
    • $A$ - Letter
    • $&$ - Symbol. Preceded by $A$ (Letter), followed by $#$ (Symbol). Does not meet the condition (needs Letter followed by Letter).
    • $#$ - Symbol. Preceded by $&$ (Symbol), followed by $W$ (Letter). Does not meet the condition.
    • $W$ - Letter
    • $Z$ - Letter
    • $€$ - Symbol. Preceded by $Z$ (Letter), followed by $%$ (Symbol). Does not meet the condition.
    • $%$ - Symbol. Preceded by $€$ (Symbol), followed by $©$ (Symbol). Does not meet the condition.
    • $©$ - Symbol. Preceded by $%$ (Symbol), followed by $H$ (Letter). Does not meet the condition.
    • $H$ - Letter
    • $M$ - Letter
    • $O$ - Letter
    • $#$ - Symbol. Preceded by $O$ (Letter), followed by $ (Symbol). Does not meet the condition.
    • $ - Symbol. Preceded by $#$ (Symbol), followed by $U$ (Letter). Does not meet the condition.
    • $U$ - Letter
    • $£$ - Symbol. Preceded by $U$ (Letter), followed by $F$ (Letter). Meets the condition.
    • $F$ - Letter
    • $*$ - Symbol. Preceded by $F$ (Letter), followed by $H$ (Letter). Meets the condition.
    • $H$ - Letter
    • $D$ - Letter
    • $€$ - Symbol. Preceded by $D$ (Letter), followed by $©$ (Symbol). Does not meet the condition.
    • $©$ - Symbol. Preceded by $€$ (Symbol), followed by $H$ (Letter). Does not meet the condition.
    • $H$ - Letter
  2. Count the symbols meeting the criteria:
    • The symbol $£$ is preceded by $U$ (letter) and followed by $F$ (letter).
    • The symbol $*$ is preceded by $F$ (letter) and followed by $H$ (letter).
    There are exactly 2 such symbols.

Conclusion

Based on the analysis, there are 2 symbols ($£$ and $*$) that are immediately preceded by a letter and immediately followed by a letter in the given series.
